Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is the commonest inherited optic neuropathy, yet there is limited natural history data on disease progression.

Purpose To describe the genetic and clinical features of nineteen patients from eleven unrelated Chinese pedigrees with OPA1-related autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) and define the phenotype-genotype correlations.

Visual and psychological morbidity among patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Editor, Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is the most common inherited optic nerve disorder seen in neuro-ophthalmological practice (Yu-Wai-Man et al. 2011). The majority of patients with DOA harbour pathogenic mutations within the OPA1 gene, which codes for an inner mitochondrial membrane protein intricately involved in mitochondrial ...

Genetic testing for optic atrophy
We studied the scientific literature and disease guidelines in order to summarize the clinical utility of the genetic test for optic atrophy (OA). OA is mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, rarely in an autosomal recessive manner, with an ...

Genetic heterogeneity in autosomal dominant optic atrophy
Purpose: Autosomal dominant optic atrophy is a hereditary optic neuropathy characterized by progressive visual loss in childhood, color vision anomalies, visual field defects and temporal pallor of the optic disc. This disease has been mapped to a 1.4 cM

Neuroinflammatory Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neurodegeneration in Glaucoma
The exact mechanism of retinal ganglion cell loss in the pathogenesis of glaucoma is yet to be understood. Mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction have been linked to Leber’s hereditary optic ...

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy is one of the most common inherited optic neuropathies. This disease is genetically heterogeneous, but most cases are due to pathogenic variants in the OPA1 gene: depending on the population studied, 32-90% of cases ...

OPA1 mutations and mitochondrial DNA haplotypes in autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy is a form of blindness, due in part to mutations affecting the mitochondrial-targeted OPA1 gene product. Both OPA1-positive and OPA1-negative families exhibit variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine if the background mtDNA genotype acts as a genetic modifier ...

New avenues for therapy in mitochondrial optic neuropathies
Mitochondrial optic neuropathies are a group of optic nerve atrophies exemplified by the two commonest conditions in this group, autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) and Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
